Full controller support		By default, movement is bound to first four buttons of the controller. Buttons 1 (xbox A) and 4 (xbox Y) for up and down, button 2 (xbox B) for right/confirm and button 3 (xbox X) for left/cancel. This should cover majority of controllers, but controllers like dancepads with d-pad only may be required to rebind the controller with keyboard assistant. Some controllers handling d-pad with axis may have problems with the gameplay.
Controller remapping		Option to toggle between arrow combinations and button prompt for in game HUD. If all buttons are bound, ability to disable arrow combinations. Supports secondary bindings for movement.
